Thank you for your service and sacrifice to our Diocese. May our Lord continue to bestow blessings on you as countless as the grains of sand at the seashore.

Congratulations on being named Bishop of Allentown 9yrs ago! Ad Multos Annos!

‼️ June 11, the bishops of the United States will consecrate our nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus during their Spring Plenary Assembly in Orlando, Florida.

This takes place during the 250th anniversary year of the Declaration of Independence.

But what does that actually mean?

Consecration means freely placing ourselves under the care and kingship of Jesus Christ. It is a public act of trust. As Catholics, we believe Christ is Lord not only of individuals, but also of families, communities, and nations.

❤️ And you can participate from home.

📺 Watch the consecration live:
4:00 PM ET / 3:00 PM CT / 2:00 PM MT / 1:00 PM PT

🔗 USCCB YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/usccb

The Sacred Heart of Jesus reminds us of Christ's real and personal love for every human person. Through the private revelations received by St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, this devotion spread throughout the Church as an invitation to trust Jesus more deeply and respond to His love. The Church encourages this devotion while teaching that private revelations do not add to the deposit of faith.

Many Catholics are also drawn to the promises associated with devotion to the Sacred Heart, shared through the private revelations received by St. Margaret Mary Alacoque:

➜ I will give them all the graces necessary for their state in life.
➜ I will establish peace in their homes.
➜ I will comfort them in all their afflictions.
➜ I will be their secure refuge during life, and above all, in death.
➜ I will bestow abundant blessings upon all their undertakings.
➜ Sinners will find in My Heart the source and infinite ocean of mercy.
➜ Lukewarm souls shall become fervent.
➜ Fervent souls shall quickly rise to great perfection.
➜ I will bless every place in which an image of My Heart is exposed and honored.
➜ I will give priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts.
➜ Those who spread this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart.
➜ In the excess of the mercy of My Heart, I promise that My all-powerful love will grant to those who receive Holy Communion on the First Fridays for nine consecutive months the grace of final perseverance; they shall not die in My displeasure or without receiving the sacraments, and My Heart shall be their secure refuge in that last hour.

So how can you take part on June 11?

➜ Attend Mass if you're able.
➜ Go to Confession.
➜ Make a personal or family Act of Consecration.
➜ Pray before an image of the Sacred Heart.
➜ Offer prayers for our nation, our leaders, and those who have fallen away from the faith.

Many of us want God to bless our nation. But have we invited Him to reign in our own hearts?

This consecration isn't just about America. It's also an invitation to surrender our own lives more completely to Christ.

🇺🇸❤️ Will you be joining in prayer?
